"The Chinese have successfully completed a full energy cycle, from thorium, through the breeding process, to obtaining energy from generated uranium 233. "

"In a reactor, this process is called fuel breeding. We need to take a thorium atom and hit it with a neutron. Then thorium 232 turns into thorium 233. And this isotope is unstable and quickly decays to protactinium 233, and this in turn after another decay becomes uranium 233. "

"almost half of everything orbiting Earth is space debris, abandoned rocket parts, and so on. Actually, 47% of all objects currently orbiting Earth are space debris. "

"the total volume of observed objects is 50,900 different objects. And where can one think of so many objects? After all, we haven't sent that many satellites into space. "

"waste accumulates faster than it is removed. "

"Kessler syndrome is precisely that state in which satellites begin to uncontrollably break apart from each other, from the debris of others, and simply suddenly a gigantic cloud begins to form around the Earth. "

"In any case, in 1965, such a reactor was launched into space. Space Nuclear Auxiliary Power Shot Snapshot, an American military technology satellite, was used to test an ion engine powered by the Snap 10 reactor, and was the only nuclear reactor launched into space by the United States and the first reactor to operate in space in history. "

"The salvation here turned out to be a technique called photon Doppler variography. In reality, it is an ultra-accurate laser speed camera with such cosmic precision. By aiming a laser beam at the surface of this bombarded sample, the system recorded even the smallest frequency shifts of the reflected light, which were caused by internal vibrations of the material. So, just as seismologists analyze earthquake waves that pass through the globe, Zeng's team used a laser to read the speed of sound waves traveling through this compressed alloy. "

"The power of this signal will degrade with the square of the distance. That is, twice as far means four times weaker signal. "

"On Earth, we receive with large telescopes, we use large radio telescopes for reception. These are basically two main systems. Well, there are a few more. Well, this Deep Space Network is Goldstone in California. A center that has several telescopes there. There is such a center near Madrid. I had the opportunity to see this equipment there. There is a large 60-plus-meter radio telescope of this network there. "

"In this image of the Martian surface, streaks are visible that were formed by wind blowing over impact craters in the Cirtis Mayor region. These streaks extend for about 50 km, and large craters near the center and bottom of the image have an average diameter of about 50 km. "

"Therefore, quantum systems, even at absolute zero, always exhibit some minimal residual vibrations. They always have some minimal amount of energy that cannot be taken away from them in any way. And this is precisely zero-point energy. "

"Modern field theory proves, and here I'm talking about quantum fields, that the vacuum literally teems with virtual particles, and recently their existence has been confirmed with a high degree of probability in an experiment. "

"The project assumes the development of a reusable aircraft capable of transport, in the sense of a reusable spaceplane capable of transporting cargo to low Earth orbit, performing autonomous orbital missions, and eventually also transporting astronauts. "

"Artemis V is also when NASA is expected to begin building its Moon base. "

"Congress unexpectedly allocated $700 million for the project in legislation passed in 2025. The new spacecraft would serve as a communications bridge between Mars missions and Earth, supporting future robotic exploration and potentially eventual human missions. "

"NASA is trying to build and launch this spacecraft before the end of the next Mars launch window, which falls at the end of 2028. "

"Its empty weight is 2700 tons, but when the launch platform and the SLS rocket are placed on it, the mass increases to 6000 tons. It's a movable island with dimensions of 40 by 35 m, which is roughly the size of a basketball court. "

"The spectrum of this galaxy shows no characteristic lines for heavy elements. There is no trace of carbon or oxygen. Instead, the James Webb Telescope recorded something very rare, a signature of ionized Helium. "

"The exoplanetary object LHS 3844B observed by the James Webb Space Telescope is a so-called super-Earth, about 30% larger than our planet and located almost 50 light-years away from us. Unlike most exoplanet studies, which focus on atmospheres, astronomers analyzed the heat emitted from the planet's surface. "

"Mark One will carry two NASA science and technology payloads this year as part of the CLPS initiative, Commercial Lunar Payload Services. This is again also such an interesting NASA program, where private companies can also transport, but not people, only various systems, right? various goods, various experiments, various, I don't know, rovers, landers, whatever. Yes, we can send everything there as part of such a program, just not a human. "

"“We detected gamma rays with a photon energy of 20 gigaelectronvolts (or 20 billion electronvolts – an extremely large amount of energy) extending in a halo-like structure toward the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The gamma-ray emission component closely matches the shape expected from the dark matter halo,” said Totani. The measured gamma ray energy spectrum, which describes how the intensity of the emission varies, closely matches model predictions for the annihilation of hypothetical WIMPs with masses roughly 500 times that of a proton. "

"When we break the connection between them, the breaking energy is so powerful. I remind you, here it works the other way around than in electromagnetism, so we add energy to break such quarks, so there is something to form new particles from later. So it is so great and so powerful that it materializes as new mass, i.e., a new particle. "

"The latest experiment has just provided hard evidence that these so-called virtual particles are very real and are key to understanding what empty space truly is. "
